Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Xiao Ye's mind trembled as he encountered a Guardian surpassing the King Martial Realm here, with definite Emperor Martial Realm strength, possibly capable of killing him in one move!

Xiao Ye looked around and found that over a thousand Guardians here had three sword patterns on their shoulders!

Previously, so many equivalent to Emperor Martial Realm strength Guardians!

Xiao Ye's expression changed instantly!

He couldn't even block one such Guardian, let alone so many?

Most importantly, one of the Guardians had already spotted him!

"Run!"

Xiao Ye made a split-second decision and turned to flee!

Jokingly, even if the Snow White Lotus was incredibly valuable, he needed to be alive to get it!

With so many Guardians swarming up, even the dagger given to him by the Holy Palace Master wouldn't work!

After all, that dagger could only be used three times, and it would be useless afterward.

"Roar!"

The Guardian that discovered Xiao Ye, with a glimpse of tyranny in its eyes, let out a low roar, causing the walls to tremble violently.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

...

The other Guardians seemed to understand the meaning conveyed in the low roar, and they all stood up and chased after Xiao Ye.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Ye felt the bursts of wind breaking behind him and couldn't help but turn his head, only to see over a thousand Guardians already chasing after him, their majestic dark bodies merging together like a black flood, destroying everything in its path.

And these Guardians were so fast because of their strength, it was like a breeze passing by, leaping dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

With over a thousand Guardians chasing him together, the noise was thunderous, and even Little White, who was standing on Xiao Ye's shoulder, became anxious and uneasy.

Because he also realized the horror and strength of these Guardians, if they caught up, both he and Xiao Ye would undoubtedly die!

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye desperately operated the Overriding Eight Desolates, pushing this movement technique to its extreme, but still could not shake off the Guardians behind him, instead, the distance between them was getting even closer.

"Damn, am I, Xiao Ye, going to perish here? I really can't accept this!"

"Could this be the Third Layer?" Xiao Ye was extremely anxious in his heart.

Had he known that upon entering the Ancient Relics, he would encounter such terrifying Guardians, he definitely would not have come in.

Entering the Ancient Relics to hunt for treasures while not sufficiently powerful, was absolutely a death-seeking behavior.

Whoosh whoosh—

The howling wind blew past Xiao Ye's ears, he could even hear the low roars from the mouths of those Guardians behind him, getting closer and closer.

Xiao Ye had no time to think about where to flee for his life, only knew to dive into any passage he encountered, desperately searching for an exit.

Along the way, Xiao Ye also encountered two other levels of Guardians.

However, these Guardians did not attack Xiao Ye, but instead kneeled on one knee on the ground, as if saluting the Guardians chasing after him.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye became even more certain that the Guardians chasing him definitely possessed strength surpassing the King Martial Peak, truly at the Emperor Martial Realm!

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye transformed into a streak of lightning, swiftly escaping through the passage.

At this moment, the Guardian closest to him was only ten steps away, and the situation had become perilously dire.

Boom!

Suddenly, the walls of the passage on this level started shaking, automatically splitting open to reveal a dark crevice, its destination unknown, as if deliberately helping Xiao Ye.

"Damn it, I'm going all in!"

Seeing the Guardian getting closer behind him, already raising his black iron sword to strike, Xiao Ye did not hesitate and rushed into the crack.

Regardless of why the crack appeared, preserving his life was paramount; Xiao Ye darted straight in.

As Xiao Ye rushed into the crack, a sound of mechanisms meshing echoed, and the crack closed with a clicking noise.

Roar!

The Guardians following closely behind Xiao Ye all stopped.

The most formidable Guardian, his eyes flashing with a wild glow, growled softly.

Subsequently, the Guardians standing behind him, as if obeying a command, all turned around and left.

Soon, these Guardians had completely disappeared.

On the other side, as the crack closed, Xiao Ye found himself surrounded by darkness, sitting cross-legged on the ground, panting heavily. He took out a King Crystal from his Space Ring and consumed it to replenish his depleted energy.

Earlier, his escape had greatly drained his King Martial Power.

Thinking back to the previous scene, Xiao Ye still broke out in a cold sweat.

He had almost been caught by those Guardians.

"Where is this?" After swallowing the King Crystal, Xiao Ye stood up and looked around extensively.

Despite the pitch darkness, as a warrior of the King Martial Realm, Xiao Ye quickly adapted.

He discovered he was in a passage, its end unknown.

"Although there are no signs of Guardians here, we can't stay trapped forever, and the appearance of this passage was too peculiar. If we linger here, danger might still be lurking."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ye made up his mind, patted Little White's head, and walked forward.

Xiao Ye walked tensely along the passage.

After about several dozen breaths, Xiao Ye saw a glimmer of light ahead, immediately lifting his spirits.

It appeared they had reached the exit!

"Where might this exit lead to?" Xiao Ye cautiously approached the exit.

Calling it an exit, in reality, it was just the other end of the passage. When Xiao Ye emerged from the exit, his view suddenly widened.

Once Xiao Ye could see everything in front of him, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Because he had somehow circled back!

Looking around, this was a vast underground space, as if inside a mountain's belly.

On a huge stone platform in the center of the space, the Snow White Lotus he had seen earlier was still quietly blooming, emitting seven-colored rosy clouds directly flowing into Xiao Ye's body, causing his King Martial Power to start boiling.

"What… what on earth is happening?" Xiao Ye was incredibly shocked.

He certainly did not want to return here to face death again!

"No, wait, all those Guardians went after me and haven't returned!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xiao Ye.

A wild and heart-racing idea surged in his mind.

While those Guardians had not returned yet, seize the Snow White Lotus!

This object, which made over a thousand Emperor Martial Realm Guardians kneel, was undoubtedly extraordinary!
